Trials estimate effects for studied populations and durations. They do not establish an identical individual response or a universal treatment duration.
- What kind of evidence this is
- Randomized human outcomes. This answer uses a study that assigned people to groups by chance and measured a health outcome.
- What this answer covers
- The defined populations and follow-up durations in SURMOUNT-1 and SURPASS-2. This answer covers only the named molecule and finished product. It also covers the product form and how people used it. The study limits include who took part, what was used for comparison, what changed, and how long the study lasted.
- Question type
- Clinical outcomes. What a study measured about people's health, symptoms, or ability to function.
